A bold and visionary tour of the most important, and least understood, countries shaping the future of the global order.
Grand explanations of how to understand the twenty-first century would have fallen short - until now. In The Second World War, brilliant scholar Parag Khanna shows how America's dominant moment has been replaced by a geopolitical marketplace, where the EU and China compete with the US to shape the world order on their own terms. The primary battlefield is the Second World: Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and East Asia.
This is the world that could rise or fall, their future precarious but their resources critical to the competing powers. Whoever dominates the Second World will lead the twenty-first century - or become part of the Second World itself.
